THE COLD SNAP.

Richmond struck by "a Breeze from orcen'
lands Icy Mountains.
At the expense OF not being deemed
strictly original, the reporter remarks
that Yesterday was "a cold day" Sun
day night Richmond was struck by a
breeze that might have blown from Ice
land, or by a blizzard direct from Dako-
tn. which halted in the city en- route for
Jacksonville. =.
IL it did not break down on the way it
will cause considerable CONSERVATION
among the winter sojourners, who are
!ndulging in midsummer dreams In the
Florida orange groves. The thermometer
yesterday played between 10 and 20
from 6 A. NJ. until 3 p. NJ. After that
hour il fell, and at midnight was back at
about the standing point.
In Ashland yesterday at 6 O'Clock in
the morning the mercury stood at 8 de-
grees, and in the city suburbs at 8. 1t
was the coolest day of the winter, but
fortunately there was but little wind.
On the southside of Main and Broad
streets, where a remnant Of last weeks
ice and snow fingered, the walking was
In some places dangerous. Everybody
was muffled up, and last night but few
people were ont on pleasure bent. The
effects Of the cold snap was visible in
the decreased attendance at the Mo-
sart and at the Theatre and other gather
ings. The prospects are for a continu-
ance of cold, fair weather, slightly mod
Grated, to-day.

A BRAN NEW ORGAN.
The Beautiful Instrument Grace
Street Baptist Church is Soon to Have.

The Beautiful Instrument That Grace
Street Baptist Church is Soon to Have.
The new organ for the Grace-street
Baptist church will be placed in position
during the present month. In the con-
structiOn Of this instrument efforts have
been made to combine the different quail
ties which tend towards perfection in all
the details. 1t is an interesting fact to
know that the general plan of the organ,
which was drawn after several consulta-
tons between the builders and Mr.. n. B.
Clapp, of the city, who at the request of
the committee had the matter in charge,
was also adopted, and a counterpart of
the Richmond organ ordered for the
American chapel at Dresden, Germany.
Two hundred years ago the first organ
introduced into q church in this country
was brought from England, where it had
resOunded to- the mastery touch Of Han
del, and placed in Kings chapel, Boston.
Now, after a lapse of two centuries, the
resources Of a famous American factory
are brought to bear to. send abroad an
organ which shall display to Europeans
the excellence now attained here in the
production Of church instruments. The
two organs are from the frctory of
Messrs. Hook g. Hastings, Boston, who
also built the beautiful organ in the Lee
Memorial church at Lexington, Va, the
one in Plymouth church, and the great
instrument in the Cincinnati Music Hall.
They will be exhibited in Boston, and
